[Sting] I’ve come to the realisation through experiences that not only is nature an amazing metaphor for human relationships and patterns of behaviour – it’s a miracle in it’s own right. You can’t separate us from the trees, we’re part of the same carbon based family of life. If you see nature as something apart from you, you have no respect for it."
